The Haute Closet

Lolla Reloaded

Lolla Reloaded

Alright darlings, you've waited long enough. Real style at Lollapalooza was - we can't say it any other way - hard to come by. We were absolutely lost in a sea of uninspired trends, i.e. Keds Keds Keds!, crop tops, neon and, above all, general slovenliness. The weather wasn't even that hot!

But! We did find some girls rocking some seriously fun looks. Check out our favorite girls from the fest - the Australian DJ duo known as NERVO - to the right and loads more of our Lolla style coverage on Lucky Online here, here, here and here.

Also, be sure to check out what the musicians were wearing and saying in our refinery29 post.

Plus - don't miss this video from lastnightsparty: an instant hit and exactly the energy you missed if you weren't at the fest.

And, of course, Chicago's Darkroom Demons - they've got all the best photos.

We will definitley be back again next year (it is, after all, our favorite weekend in Chicago - you're familiar with our Haute Tunes, no?) to critique a new round of trends and capture those who truly make this one of the best of the fests.

LOLLAPALOOZA @ THC

Lollapalooza.

We are going to turn this, our favorite festival, upside down.

Corresponding for Lucky, we're going to be staking out the best festival looks, talking to your favorite performers and attending all the best parties.

We've featured quite a few of the Lolla artists on our THC in Your Head mixes and we can't wait to get their take on style.

SO: What are you going to wear?

See you there.

Fix Me, Please

Fix Me, Please

Zippers, shoes, pants ... things break. Don't be ashamed. If it's not something cheap (as in super low quality, and if it is, scrap it, you should be ashamed) you ought to get it fixed. Maybe it's not so fun to take it in, but it is fun when you get it back. And it will be as good as new or better if you take it to one of our favorite apparel specialists.

Sofia on Oak

Sofia

Sofia is THE boutique on Oak Street.

Blending designer vintage with the best new labels, the store serves both men and women with a mix of cosmopolitan basics and on-the-cusp trends.

Owner Ashley Zisook and Buyer Lindsey Madigan really know how to edit a collection - custom Sofia jewelry, vintage CHANEL bags and super cute shoes find their spot amongst labels like House of Harlow and the best Chicago labels.

Personally, our favorite thing about Sofia is that you can pick up a complete outfit without breaking the bank (but you can if you like). Swimwear, jewels, dresses, vests, super-luxe furs, belts, hats, jackets - you name it, they've got it.

Hit it off with the friendly staff and you'll always never miss out on a must-have piece. Given the hip-factor of this place, you'll always leave with something fresh.
